Whittemore Center Arena, known colloquially as The Whitt, is a multi-purpose arena in Durham, New Hampshire, United States, on the campus of the University of New Hampshire. Located at 128 Main Street in Durham, the arena is home to the New Hampshire Wildcats men's and women's ice hockey teams. The arena was New Hampshire's largest until the Verizon Wireless Arena (now the SNHU Arena) opened in Manchester in 2001. The arena can seat 6,501 for ice hockey and basketball games, and 7,200 for concerts and similar events. The facility was built for $30 million and opened in November 1995. It was dedicated to Frederick B. Whittemore (a son of Laurence F. Whittemore) and his family on May 5, 1996. Through the end of the 2006-2007 academic year, the arena was managed by Global Spectrum, but UNH Campus Recreation took over management before the 2007 academic year. The arena is adjacent to its predecessor, Snively Arena, which is still standing and is used as a recreation facility. It is also adjacent to the Durham-UNH station, served by Amtrak, and it is across the street from Wildcat Stadium, home of the Wildcats football team. Both the Wildcats men's ice hockey and Wildcats women's ice hockey team play their home games at the arena. The hockey rink originally had a full Olympic-sized sheet of ice, 200 by 100 feet (61 m × 30 m), but the rink was reduced slightly to almost "NHL size", 200 by 90 feet (61 by 27 m), during a 2022 renovation. In 2002, 2005, 2016, and 2024, UNH and the Whittemore Center hosted the NCAA Women's Frozen Four. The lobby is decorated with heroic portraits of past men's and women's All-American hockey players. The Wildcats men's basketball and Wildcats women's basketball teams (which currently draw roughly 1,000 fans per game on average) normally play across the street at Lundholm Gymnasium, which is attached to Wildcat Stadium. A few home basketball games have been held at the Whittemore Center. The arena is also a venue for many concerts, trade shows
